Welcome to Vanxim!

Cross the ferry and enter Vanxim

Inside Mandovi stands Cross so holy.

Welcome to Vanxim!

Island so serene and beautiful

Sold for a song by Goa Archbishop

Not more than 55 lakh, its official.

Welcome to Vanxim!

Court cases before Mamlatdar

 And Deputy Collector

To snatch away land of mulnivasi Vanxecars

Welcome to Vanxim!

Archbishop indulged in corruption of

Magnitude huge and made Gaunekar Landlord

Welcome to Vanxim!

Archbishop is a Bamon

Gaunekar is a Bamon

Its Bamon Raj all the way smiles and roses

Welcome to Vanxim!

Paddy fields so fertile and so abundant

Bamon conspiracy left them flooded in salty water

Welcome to Vanxim!

Gaunekar sold Vanxim

As if his dowry inheritance

Santa Monica Convent left

With bleeding wounds on memory.

Welcome to Vanxim!

For 50 crore Gaunekar hoisted Ozone into Vanxim

Vanxim battles gambler’s lust and craze.

Welcome to Vanxim!

Mouth of people stuffed with money,

Never must they speak words any.

Welcome to Vanxim!

Government officer stood his ground
Said 'NO' to politicians in transfering Church land in Vanxim
Was targeted on the floor of the Goa Legislative Assembly
Bamon Raj is uncontrolled, corrupt and on berserk.
Welcome to Vanxim!

The heart of a poet melts in agony

What have you done Archbishop Neri?

Welcome to Vanxim!

You promised to serve God only

Yet how come you turned out

to be loyal  servant of mammon willingly?

Welcome to Vanxim!

You sold Vanxim only to ignite a spark,

Dark cords are ablaze with might.

Welcome to Vanxim!

You sold Vanxim & triggered crisis

of faith in many,

What is your long term plan

to commit this act so nasty?

Welcome to Vanxim!

Poilice to arrest women of Vanxim

NGO to wage war proxy,

Why do you burry in sadistic slurry?

Welcome to Vanxim!

Poets’ responsibility to speak out boldly,

Those silent are guilty of sins of Ommission.

Flag marches on with a mission.

Welcome to Vanxim!

You claim man of God

 and beyond Public Criticism,

Tell me why you put Vanxim in grave jeopardy?

Welcome to Vanxim!

You cannot escape answers to these questions,

Mercy of God be with you,

Flag of Justice never sink in oblivion.

Welcome to Vanxim!

Swiss accounts stocked your black money

Only to make notorious bankers richer,

Yet Vanxim will not accede to be poorer.

Welcome to Vanxim!

With a might of a Lion

Vanxim will roar,

In a bottomless pit Satan’s agents

To be shunted forever.

Welcome to Vanxim!

Vanxim is beautiful and no doubt about it,

No one has right to defile it.

Welcome to Vanxim!

Wake up my friends,

Shoot words like a spear,

In your hands and voice Vanxim now oh dear,

Welcome to Vanxim!

In God the Christ we trust,

Archbishop betrayed us

Speak out loud

Till prayers reach heavenly crown.

Welcome to Vanxim!

The ring of bell

Sounds call of the grace,

Its time to march with

Children ahead.

Welcome to Vanxim!

Battle lines drawn the day Vanxim was sold,

That day February 11, 2006

Action filled with secrecy untold.

Welcome to Vanxim!

To carry the light in times so dark,

To be water amidst drought.

Welcome to Vanxim!
